The Property
Set within mature landscaped grounds on the edge of the coastal village of Longhoughton, Westfield House is a distinguished Grade II Listed former vicarage of striking architectural presence. Built in 1839 in the Tudor style and noted in Nikolaus Pevsner’s Buildings of England, the house lies beside the historic church of St Peter and St Paul, just a short walk from the beach. Formerly owned by the Church of England and in private hands since 1983, the property has been thoughtfully modernised in recent years, combining the elegance of its original period detailing with high-quality finishes throughout.

Approached via a circular gravel driveway flanked by manicured lawns, the house opens into a generous stone-flagged vestibule, leading through to a wide reception hall with a sweeping staircase and panelled walls. From here, a series of versatile reception rooms unfold: a dual-aspect formal lounge with a bay window and garden views; a generous formal dining with fitted cabinetry; a cosy snug with cast-iron fireplace; and a striking drawing room, where fitted seating and a large inglenook fireplace frame the space, with French doors opening directly to the rear terrace.

At the heart of the house, the kitchen/breakfast room pairs bespoke country-style cabinetry with a twin-oven gas-fired AGA and integrated appliances, with ample space for relaxed dining. A large walk-in pantry and separate utility room offer further practicality, both accessed from a rear hall that also connects to a courtyard garden. A secondary staircase rises from the kitchen, and stairs between the main hall and kitchen lead down to a useful cellar.

The first floor is arranged around a light-filled galleried landing. The principal bedroom enjoys garden views and includes a decorative fireplace and adjoining principal bathroom with freestanding bath, walk-in shower, vanity basin, and fitted window seat. This luxurious bathroom also connects to an adjacent double bedroom. Two further bedrooms enjoy dual-aspect views and are served by a stylish family bathroom, with a separate WC completing the first-floor layout. Above, three attic rooms provide flexible additional accommodation.

The Coach House
A recently converted Coach House, offering bright and spacious ancillary accommodation with vaulted ceilings, exposed stonework, and stone-flagged flooring throughout the ground floor. The sitting room features a large picture window and a wood-burning stove, while the kitchen is fitted with sleek cabinetry, a twin Belfast sink, and integrated appliances. A WC completes the ground level, and above, a large, vaulted bedroom is served by a boutique en-suite with roll-top bath, walk-in shower, and traditional fittings.

The Coach House is currently operating as very successful five-star holiday accommodation, with its own private parking and sun terraces. Generating a substantial additional income.

Externally
Westfield House is set within approximately 1.33 acres of beautifully tended grounds, including a small turnout paddock, formal lawns, richly planted borders, and a walled rear garden with orchard, vegetable beds, and a gravelled terrace. A separate courtyard houses stores, a coal house, and a gardener’s WC, while the Coach House enjoys its own private patio.

A large, luxury oak framed garden room with surrounding deck offers space for entertaining, with home cinema, heating, water, lighting, and year-round flexibility.

To the north of the site, a modern stable block incorporates two large stalls, a tack room, feed room and hay store, all with hard standing, power, and water. The current owners have an ongoing arrangement to rent adjoining land for equestrian grazing, accessed via a gated entrance—this may be available to continue by separate negotiation. Beyond the property, several scenic bridleways lead to the nearby Longhoughton beach – the perfect excursion for any equestrian enthusiast. The unique location allows access to several scenic bridleways, including nearby Longhoughton beach and golden stretches of the Northumberland coastline to Sugar Sands and Howdiemont Beach.
